lang/camlp5 v5.12 build error

[bathizte@…]

I was trying to install coq, and it depends on camlp5. When trying to build camlp5 I have the following error :

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_camlp5/work/camlp5-5.12" && /usr/bin/make -j2 world.opt " returned error 2

I think we need to see the debug output to help with this. Normally MacPorts only shows the last 30 lines of error, and it looks like there was more output than that here. Can you clean the port and try again with the debug switch?

sudo port clean camlp5
sudo port -d install camlp5 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/camlp5.txt
bzip2 ~/Desktop/camlp5.txt

Then attach camlp5.txt.bz2 from your desktop to this ticket.

Thanks for your quick answer.

The portfile shows the make target is world.opt. And I found a similar error message

ocamlc.opt -warn-error A -c -intf stdpp.ppi
File "stdpp.ppi", line 8, characters 16-22:
Error: Unbound type constructor Ploc.t

Camlp5 fails to build if parallel builds are enabled. Adding "use_parallel_build no" in Portfile will resolve this problem.

Replying to kiyoshi.coquser@…:

Camlp5 fails to build if parallel builds are enabled. Adding "use_parallel_build no" in Portfile will resolve this problem.

Thanks for the help, adding the above to the camlp5 Portfile resolved the problem for me.

Added in r57526. Thanks for figuring that out.

I confirm it is now building after a sync, thanks a lot kiyoshi.
